Radiate One-Shot
Beta
“A specific variant of the Multihit archetype”
Core idea
One Radiate is all you need. Avoid using any other attacks, stack up some Vigor, then once you have Royal Gamble and Radiate in hand on the same turn, hit for a minimum of 9 times to all enemies, one-shotting most encounters. Use some small star generation to afford the Royal Gamble, such as Venerate or ideally Divine Destiny, upgrade Royal Gamble so it retains, then wait to draw Radiate and end the fight. Instead of playing attacks while waiting, play Vigor cards and defend. Though harder to find, Shockwave is perfect for this build.
When to commit
When you find Akabeko, ideally with some of the key pieces already, or you are offered the Vigorous enhancement with Radiate in your deck
Key cards and relics
Support plan
Small sources of stars can keep this deck consistent. Prioritise hitting the key threshold of 5 stars - 3 from the starting relic and 2 more from one card, ideally. Hidden Cache can make for a surprising amount of damage if Radiate is played the turn after, though this can be hard to guarantee unless you have Convergence. Know Thy Place offers some Weak and Vulnerable which isn't an attack. Strength is always welcome in a multihit deck. Block is important to keep you healthy while you wait for your combo. Try to keep the deck slim for consistency.

Weaknesses
Vigor is used on your next attack, meaning you can spend several turns passing on damage as you can't afford to waste the Vigor on less impressive attacks. Removing Strikes is a priority in this deck. Boss fights and Elites will require more damage to get through, so be prepared to have some damage after your initial burst, perhaps through other multihit cards or consistent star generation and draw.
